OCULISTS say that myopla. nearsighted
ness, is the increase. Observation would
seem to verify the statement. The proportion
Of young persons and children wearing glasses
is increasing. The tests used to discover near
siehtedness in schools and N some occupations
also indicate that it is becoming more common.
Generally the disease begins to manifest itself
about the tenth year and makes its greatest
progress from that time to the eighteenth year.
Observation tends to prove that it is induced by
employments requiring the use OF the eyes at
very near work. It is not known to prevail
among savages and is rarely found among farm
those whose occupations have trained the
eyes TO long distances. An expert who has
studied the subject says, THAT Eear-sighted-
is a so-called intellectual disease there
can be no doubt. The weight of evil
dence goes to show this. Its hot-beds are
the great intellectual centers. the cities,
especially those which university centers.
This is particularly noticeable in the cities of
Europe. and more so those of Germany Where

to develop the trouble. This being the
there is a constant increase of it among city
populations and if it were not for the influx of
people from the rural districts and their constant
intermarriage with the denizens of cities, the
latter might all become near-sighted in the
course of time. This is only one OF the many
ways in which city populations are constantly re-
